Ron Meyers and Michael Simon Demo Video

I found this video on Youtube thanks to Michael Kline. It's about two and a half hours long so you might want to make a big batch of pop corn but it's worth the time. You can fast forward through the first few minutes of people tallking and getting seated, I wish they had edited that out but otherwise it's really a worthwhile video.

The ancients believed inanimate objects such as pottery had a soul. I
can understand why they thought this. It comes from the ground, where
life sustaining plants grow, and just like people; with direction it
can be molded. Also like people and plants it has mind of its own and
sometimes rejects the direction in which we lead it. Often the
resulting pot is better than what we intended at the start. This is why
I love working in clay and why my style is not highly refined or rigid.
I gently guide the clay and the glaze but rejoice in letting them
become what they will by the other forces they encounter. Just like
planting a seed in the garden, even when I have specific plans for it
I’m never exactly certain what it will be until it is fully developed.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
